Age limits for sports

Age limits for sports vary depending on the sport:
NBA basketball is 19
Major league baseball 16
NFL is 18
Tennis has no age limit

Limits are good for very physical contact sports like football. I think tennis and some other sports should have a limit too because you need a certain amount of maturity to be a professional athlete. Additionally, professional franchises would be depending upon the guardians of underage professional athletes for the fulfillment of their contracts which could add more problems than there worth. Even though there aren’t very high limits or no limit on baseball or tennis there aren’t many 16 year olds in major league baseball, and very rarely in tennis (with questionable results if you think of Jennifer Capriati).
